    Default Purple Moorhen

    Shot this today in the rains in Kukkarahalli lake. Had a long long disappointing day at work. So decided to go to the lake to up my mood. And turned out that it started pouring. I put on a raincoat nonetheless and the AW cover on my Lowepro (So thankful for that). And in the rains, suddenly, the sky opened up and peered through it beautiful evening light. This was shot then.
    My mood was surely Upped!!!


    I consider this my best shot of this species till date.
    It was standing on a boat preening itself. I preferred to cut off the legs to make this composition as including it was making the frame too tight.

    This is full frame.
    Canon EOS 1000D, Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM

    I'm very happy for you,
    preen pose, exposure, eye contact, sharpness and details are excellent.
    I miss the legs... :)

    I agree that the missing legs do take away a bit of the punch. However Including it meant that the head be crammed near the upper end of the frame. One of the drawback of Primes :(

    Very creative crop, it does not bother me at all. Love the soft OOF vegetation in front of the bird and preening pose. Nice comp and EXP.
